Companies reinforce the adoption of immutable backup and infrastructure monitoring in the face of cloud adhesion scenarios and growing ransomware attacks
SONDA, a regional reference in digital transformation services, and Veritas, a reference in corporate data protection, create a joint strategy to meet the new corporate demands of protection, detection and recovery from ransomware attacks.
According to SONDA, while the adoption of the cloud remains a priority on the corporate agenda to meet growth plans, incorporating themes such as collaborative work in different locations and cost reductions with a more robust infrastructure, the increase in incidents with ransomware grows at the same rate. In the global ranking of ransomware attacks, Brazil currently ranks fourth, behind only the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom, according to the SonicWall Cyber Threat 2022 report.
Given this scenario, the proposal of the regional alliance aims to support organizations in the challenge around data protection, since today providers of SaaS (Software as a Service) structures work in the "shared responsibility model", which means that the organizations are solely responsible for protecting their data.
“The provider is not responsible for taking care of the data and, therefore, does not include backup services in its storage. If data is lost, deleted or hijacked in the event of an attack, whether it be mission-critical information, personal data, intellectual property or trade secrets, organizations are on their own to recover it”, adds Silvio Pereira Rocha Júnior, sales specialist. of the PROBE.
In this strategy, on the one hand, SONDA has mastery in Data Center management to serve companies that use hybrid cloud environments. On the other hand, Veritas has solutions that ensure rapid disaster recovery with automation and orchestration at scale with a focus on data integrity and immutability. “Knowing that Zero Trust does not cover an operation 100%, a company in the retail sector, for example, cannot close its doors if its data is invaded, just as a hospital could not interrupt its routine. In this line, among the differentials offered are the fast restoration due to the replication system and the guarantee of non-invasion of the back up due to the solution model provided by Veritas”, adds Rocha Júnior.
In addition to ensuring protection and security, all stored data must meet compliance requirements, whether company policies or regulations, such as the LGPD (General Data Protection Law). Non-compliance puts organizations in the crosshairs of ransomware attacks, as leaking data could increase ransom payments.
“While we have solutions that differentiate themselves in the market in the face of new challenges, SONDA, with its regional presence, allows us to have capillarity in our offer so that we can reach companies located in different regions, which guarantees a personalized service according to the needs and unique requirements of each organization”, concludes Gustavo Leite, Vice President Latin America at Veritas.
